When these neurons perform a desired action, UV light releases dopamine ... By promoting the formation of new neural pathways, it mimics the human brain's reward system, making it a powerful ...

Since then, however, the significance of human mirror neurons (and ... Some mirror neurons appear to only respond to one action, or to a limited range; others respond to a wider variety of actions.

By crafting an artificial brain-like environment with microscopic nanopillars, researchers have successfully guided neurons ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the ...

Advancements could enhance perceptual capabilities in robotics. Artificially engineered biological processes, such as ...

The essence of this 'mirror' mechanism is as follows: whenever individuals observe an action being done by someone else, a set of neurons that ... is Professor of Human Physiology and chairs ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI ...

Parrots are already known for their mimicry of transitive actions, such as grabbing an object. Because they are highly social creatures with brains that are large relative to the size of their bodies, ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics experts due to the reliance of human senses on an adaptive network of sensory ...

Specific neurons that secrete the neuropeptide oxytocin in the brain are disproportionately disrupted in a mouse model of ...
